6 week post-hysterectomy, progress

I am going for my 6 week post-op tomorrow morning, and I feel a lot better then I thought I would. I am able to drive, after 4 weeks no driving as per Dr, I am starting to have more energy, I am able to sleep a little longer now through the nights. NO FLASHES!! That is a big thing, I have had no hot flashes, I have had mood swings, just this past weekend I have been in extremely grumpy moods and getting honkerblonked off at the drop of a hat. I still have twinges of pains here and there, still not lifting over 10 pounds, not risking getting surgical hernias, being real careful about that. I am hoping to get the AOK to go back to work in the next 2 weeks, I work retail so there will be a variety of restrictions I have to watch out for and meet before my employer will allow me to come back. so far so GREAT!!

Glad to hear that you are feeling well! Good luck getting back to work!

Why did you have to wait 4 weeks to drive? was it because you had abdominal?
